Welcome to XMD!

A Little History

XMD is the brainchild of 3D Environment & VFX Artist Michael Dunnam. Having used ZBrush since 2005, Michael began to experiment with creating custom brushes in 2012. The XMD brand came about simply because looking through other artist’s brush creations in ZBrush, there were no X named brushes. Since ZBrush uses the first letter of the brush name as a hotkey, X seemed like a logical choice. And who doesn’t love a good X? Behold! XMD was at that moment, born! (MD being his initials of course).

Finally we have released the XMD ToolBox after a very successful beta! This plugin is the ultimate organization tool for ZBrush.

Life-Time Membership

Now available on Cubebrush and Gumroad!

With new brushes being released monthly, the XMD Membership was created. At first it began as a monthly membership and soon grew into a Life-Time membership. Michael loves helping out the art community as much as possible. So a Life-Time membership for a low one time cost is a great deal! Considering the XMD brand is not going anywhere anytime soon. You already receive over 1000 ZBrush brushes as well as some Substance and 3DCoat brushes immediately on joining. With 1000s of new brushes on the horizon, it’s only going to get bigger.
